Preparing for Use
Setting Up the VPAP Malibu
!
WARNING
• Do not connect any device (other than the ResLink™ module) to the
auxiliary port. Although your health care provider may connect specially
designed devices to the auxiliary port of the VPAP Malibu unit,
connection of other devices could result in injury to persons, or damage
to the unit.
• In the clinical environment any PC that is used with the VPAP Malibu
system must be at least 5’ (1.5 m) away from, or at least 8’ (2.5 m) above
the patient. It must also comply with IEC 60950 or equivalent.
Note: The air filter cover protects the device in the event of accidental liquid
spillage onto the device. Ensure that the air filter and air filter cover are fitted at
all times.
1 Place the VPAP Malibu unit on a flat surface near the head of your bed. If the unit
is placed on the floor, ensure that the area is free from dust and clear of bedding,
clothes, or any other objects that could block the air inlet.

CAUTION
Be careful not to place the device where it can be bumped or where
someone is likely to trip over the power cord.

Connect the power cord:
There are two sockets at the rear of the flow generator—the top one for an AC
(standard mains electricity) and the lower one for a DC power cord (see “Using
DC Power to Run the VPAP Malibu” on page 25). ResMed recommends using
the AC power cord supplied with the unit.
The customized ResMed power cord can be held in place with the locking clips.
To insert the locking clip, pinch the free ends together and fit the pins into the
holes on both sides of the socket. Insert the power cord into the socket. Push
the locking clip down so that the groove holds the power cord in place. Plug one
